We've this old fire oven where there is no heat coming from the top as electric oven! ...

I see a lot of recipes where the meat is pan fried and transferred to oven to finish... for ex: when I tried this Korean Spiced Lamb Chops (http://www.ming.com/food-and-wine/rec...), I could never get the texture I saw in the video.. which made me think.. must be my oven... would this be the case?

After learning about the health benefits of Red rice... I wanted to buy it, but could not find at local stores (& even Amazon)!So, wondering where those of you who eat Red rice buy from?Also, what are approximate rates?

We can find nutrients in a raw sweet potato and boiled sweet potato. But, how is this actually calculated?

Reason I ask is...apart from 'is that info accurate?'...if I can calculate it myself, I can compare say an organic vegetable to non-organic one, raw one to cooked (boiled or steamed) one, cooked dish (this is almost impossible to accurately calculate), etc.

P.S. This might sound like an overkill, but with all the advancements in science, there should be easier ways to do this...

I like Pita breads.. they're not expensive and I believe not a lot of oil is used to make them.But as some of you have faced it, they get mold pretty quickly!Unless you've access to a store/bakery close by, it's hard to store Pita bread without it getting moldy.I'm looking for tips to delay this mold onset...

Already have a blender (Kitchenaid) which is not as powerful as NutriBullet, but does the job. Reason I did not choose NutriBullet is its size, needed something bigger to make smoothies for 3 at a time. But right now I'm looking for a juicer to make leafy greens (wheat grass, dandelion, etc) juices

Already have a blender for smoothies, but I'm looking for a proper juicer for - juicing leafy greens mainly (& some vegetable/fruits like celery/sweet potatoes/beets/carrots sometimes) - easier to clean/maintain- not too expensive

Had a Omega VRT 330HD and had to return it as it needed lots of prep work before juicing, also would clog up and the juice is too pulpy (though this can be taken care with a filter)

Read a little about this new Omega NC800 juicer which seems nice as it juices greens well and also is easy to clean - what do you think? And are there better/comparable options?
